Hello I've just installed TeXLive 2009 (web download) on a new computer running Windows XP Pro, and find that PSTricks isn't working (it's OK in TeXLive 2008). Is there some setting that I have to adjust manually? I forget whether I needed to do anything special in the 2008 installation (though I seem to recall that PSTricks support was only just getting off the ground and some manual updates were required).
Here is what I get after a simple test (setting a bit of text at an angle and drawing a basic ellipse): GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Error: /undefined in t...@dict Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1862 1 3 %oparray_pop 1861 1 3 %oparray_pop 1845 1 3 %oparray_pop 1739 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 1862 1 3 %oparray_pop 1861 1 3 %oparray_pop 1845 1 3 %oparray_pop 1739 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1159/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Current file position is 8 GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 ** WARNING ** Filtering file via command -->rungs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false -dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -sOutputFile=C:/DOCUME~1/John/LOCALS~1/Temp/dvipdfmx.a0112000007 C:/DOCUME~1/John/LOCALS~1/Temp/dvipdfmx.a0112000006 -c quit<-- failed. ** WARNING ** Image format conversion for PSTricks failed. ** WARNING ** Interpreting special command pst: (ps:) failed. ** WARNING ** >> at page="1" position="(510.625, 659.146)" (in PDF) ** WARNING ** >> xxx "pst: t...@dict begin STP newpath /ArrowA { moveto } def /ArrowB " ) Can anyone advise on this?
